Chapter 683(1/2)
The next day, there was a temporary change.
I had originally booked a flight to Sanya at noon and was back on vacation. In ten days, Teacher Wen was due to give birth.
But early in the morning, Boss Ma called.
"Xiao Zhou, is this true or false?"
"What's up?"
“Open platform!”
Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh, you know?"
Then he glanced at Third Secretary Luo Qianli and asked her to make herself a cup of tea. This phone call was probably going to take a long time.
Boss Ma was surprised and said: "So, is it true? An open platform based on social networking that you developed yourself?"
"You should have received the materials, right? I can't be like you and sell fakes, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Haha, just kidding. It's true. The open platform was basically completed in January this year. It has been in internal testing for the past few months and then cooperated with some external developers. If nothing else, it will be launched on June 1
It’s now available online on friends.”
"The technical difficulty of this thing is not low."
"It's not bad. It's the first in the country and the first in the industry."
Boss Ma was silent for a while, "Unbelievable!"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What's wrong? You have such a serious tone?"
Boss Ma said: "Your company has only been established for a few years, and the technical level has reached this level. It seems that you are right to take the technical route and it is bearing fruit."
Zhou Buqi sighed and said: "If you don't do it and I don't do it, then who will do it? Anyone can shout slogans, but not many can practice it. Someone has to do the hard work, right? You must have the necessary skills.
, otherwise the Internet will be choked by Europe and the United States like other high-tech industries."
After a pause, he continued: "The Internet is still young, and the gap between China and the United States is not big. We are almost at the same starting line. In this situation, we are all far behind, so our generation of Internet people
, he is a national sinner."
A slap on the big hat will scare you to death!
Fortunately, Boss Ma was not the one who built it. He laughed and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and be serious. I just chatted with our technical director for half an hour, and he said this is not true and there is something fishy in you."
Zhou Buqi said in an awe-inspiring manner, "Old Ma, I'm showing you my kindness, but you don't appreciate it?"
Boss Ma said: "He said that the technical difficulty of this project is very high. There is no similar system not only in China, but also in Silicon Valley. Once you make this thing, you will have a monopoly."
"Silicon Valley has it, Facebook, Google, and MySpace all have it, but they are all in the testing stage and have not been launched online. This is not surprising. After all, Friends.com is the granddaddy of global social networking sites. There is nothing amazing about Silicon Valley. Many of Facebook's functional designs
, they all imitate us.”
"No... I know your friend network is doing well, but this is a monopoly product. Do you really sell it?"
"Sell it, the price is not low."
"Just for 100 million, you will give up your monopoly position?"
Boss Ma doesn't believe that this little guy is so stupid. Monopoly has a strategic bonus, and its significance is far beyond what a small amount of money can compare with.
Zhou Buqi knew that it was difficult to fool him, so he had to sigh and use his special skills, "Oh, Lao Ma, you still don't understand me. You joined the association and didn't talk to Mr. Duan, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Lu.
You don’t have a three-dimensional understanding of me?”
Boss Ma's tone was calm, "Really? I really don't understand, how do you think about it?"
"You know the distributed database I built, right? It was a huge project, with 200 million already invested, and there was no splash at all."
"Yeah, very courageous."
"Why do you think I started this project? To make money?"
"For feelings?"
Boss Ma thought it was ridiculous.
Zhou Buqi said sincerely: "Yes, it's just for feelings! In order to promote the technological development of our country's Internet industry, in order to catch up with the pace of the United States, in order not to be stuck by technology. We will pursue our own policies while we are in position, and we will not do anything.
, you must be regarded as a national sinner, old horse!"
Boss Ma almost died of anger.
Who are you scolding for being such a big hater?
However, some doubts arose in my mind. Is this kid really an extreme patriot? With his age in his early twenties and his language style that is almost like a teenager, it is really possible.
Giving up one's own monopoly position and sharing technology with domestic peers is a truly high-level and generous act!
Boss Ma looked at himself and asked himself, he felt that he could not do such a thing.
Zhou Buqi continued: "Baidu is working on a big project, do you know? Regarding big data processing, the investment is no less than our distributed database."
"Well, I heard that there is a lot of commotion and people are being poached everywhere." Boss Ma was more relaxed, "It's good for Ali, he hasn't been poached."
Zhou Buqi almost burst out laughing.
I said to myself, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, I really didn’t realize that you have quite a sense of humor!
Go to Alibaba to recruit people? What a waste! What technical talents do you have that are worthy of Baidu's attention? People go to the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Microsoft R&D Institute, Google R&D Institute, and IBM R&D Institute to recruit people, and then they gather Baidu's best talents.
An outstanding group of technical elites.
In other projects, the lowest level is T6 basic technical experts, and there are hundreds of senior researchers at T7 and T8.
There was no other way, Zhou Buqi had no choice but to explain to Boss Ma, saying: "Lao Ma, our Ziweixing's 'Feitian' project can be done by Silicon Valley giants such as Microsoft, Google, and IBM, but they have not done it. The choice is different."
The direction of database processing. Baidu's 'pyramid' plan is a project that has failed even Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo, and Amazon. Li Yanhong's ambitions are huge!"
Boss Ma smiled and said: "It's unrealistic, he will fail."
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Why are you gloating? At least his spirit deserves recognition. In the past six months, I have contacted Baidu several times and want to cooperate with him."
"What are you doing?"
Boss Ma raised his eyebrows and felt a little unhappy.
Now, rumors have spread, saying that Baidu does intend to enter the C2C e-commerce field this year and compete with Taobao. Boss Ma is under a lot of pressure, and Li Yanhong is even more difficult to deal with.
Zhou Buqi said: "I want to attack him."
"What?"
Boss Ma didn't quite understand.
Zhou Buqi said: "How meaningful is what Baidu is doing? Once it is completed, it will have a series of chain reactions, which will have a positive promotion effect on the domestic Internet industry. But this project is too big.
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to do it based on Baidu’s strength alone. I want to help him.”
Boss Ma twitched his lips, not believing it at all.
Zhou Buqi sighed, "It's a pity that Boss Li thought I was going to steal Baidu's technology and was unwilling to cooperate with us. Alas, a villain's heart will judge a gentleman's heart. I just want to do it for the country and for us."
This industry has just made some contributions."
Boss Ma wants to curse.
Xin said that he is indeed a big shot in the Northeast, and his ability to deceive people is top-notch. I’m convinced! I’m totally convinced! This trick, if I hadn’t had some deception skills and a strong immunity, I might have been deceived by him.
.
Zhou Buqi said: "What I say is actually to tell you that I am a new generation with ideals, skills and responsibilities. It's not that I don't know the importance of monopoly, but it's boring to stand alone. What I want to see is domestic
With the common progress of the Internet industry, I am willing to share some of Ziweixing’s technological breakthroughs.”
Boss Ma smiled and said: "Then you can open source it! What else are you selling?"
Zhou Buqi had already thought of his words and said angrily: "I'm talking about Lao Ma, I have invested more than 100 million in order to develop this open platform, okay? Including the redeployment of technicians to other businesses.
Damage, the whole project development cost 300 million yuan! You have to let me get my health back, right? If you want the old horse to run, you have to feed the old horse, right?"
"You're the one eating grass!"
Boss Ma snorted angrily, unable to keep up with the young man's out-of-the-box thinking.
Zhou Buqi continued: "There is also a very important point. You have said that there is no open platform based on social networking, not even in Silicon Valley. If I open source, wouldn't it be cheaper for Americans? This is not acceptable! I am willing to provide domestic
Share with peers, but don’t want to be enemies.”
"Buy a project with 100 million yuan..." Boss Ma pondered for a moment, "This matter is not big or small. When do you think we have time, we can meet and discuss it in detail?"
"I have some personal matters recently and am really busy. How about I change my ticket now and go to Hangzhou to see you?"
"good!"
…
The asking price for Penguin is 300 million yuan, the price for Alibaba is 100 million yuan, and the price for Baidu and Sina is 50 million yuan, a total of 500 million yuan!
This is definitely a huge deal.
At such a busy time in the company, Zhou Buqi took a long vacation for some personal matters, which made him feel somewhat guilty. If he could get rid of the old horse quickly in a short time, he could use Ali to make a good start for this big business and proceed in an orderly manner.
